Definitely in the top 5 as far as deer calibers go. Versatile, plenty of power for deer, longer range capability, and not too hard on the shoulder. Last year my brother shot 2 deer with his .270. One was about 70 yards away, dropped in it's tracks. The second was upwards of 350 yards. Went about 40 yards and dropped. While I've never taken an animal with a .270, I'd have no compunction about using one. It has worked for a long time, and like its parent cartridge, the 30-06, it will be around for decades to come.
